ESPN.com cited numerous sources who said the NCAA sent a letter to Ohio State last week notifying the school that its investigation is still ongoing.

The report Wednesday said the letter could result in a second notice of allegations and a second trip through the NCAA justice system.

Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch responded that the university does not anticipate discussing any additional allegations with the NCAA committee on infractions in Indianapolis on Friday other than those it self-reported in March 2011.

“The latest letter I saw from the NCAA to President Gee did not mention any additional allegations,” Lynch said. “The university has not received any additional allegations.”

The Buckeyes football program has been embroiled in a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that broke late last year and resulted in coach Jim Tressel losing his job after 10 years. Star quarterback Terrelle Pryor also has left the school.

The NCAA can either accept the school’s self-imposed penalties, which include two years of probation and vacating last year’s 12-win season, or it can add to them.

In Indianapolis at a retreat for university presidents that included Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee, NCAA president Mark Emmert declined to comment on the Buckeyes situation.

“We have a process in place, and we’ll let that process work out,” he said.

Administration

Boise State: Athletic director Gene Bleymaier, the man behind the iconic blue turf, was let go as the school faces sanctions because of violations in the football program and other sports. School president Bob Kustra said Bleymaier’s career of almost 30 years at the school will end Sept. 8. “I determined new leadership will be needed as we commit ourselves to the highest level of attention and enforcement of NCAA standards,” Kustra said.

The football violations under review were committed between 2005-08. The program already is dealing with several self-imposed penalties, including fewer scholarships for the next two years. The NCAA has not yet announced whether even tougher sanctions will be imposed. The violations also involve men’s and women’s tennis, and track and field. An NCAA inquiry identified 22 infractions and the dreaded absence of institutional control.
